WOW!!! I wish I had the money you have to dump Mobil 1 every 7500!
My '91 Civic Si has 225k (with factory spec compression still) and I've used every oil brand I could get for around a buck a quart. Since my driving cycle has always been primarily highway, I change at ~7500 miles. The two times I did get Mobil 1 years ago, I went 15k.
I'm changing my wife's wagon every 10k, but have noticed a sizeable mileage increase when I do. I do use the semi-synthetic, but will probably do whatever it takes to maximize mileage from now on.
My buddy use to work at Amoco's lab and HQ in Chicago a while back and he would always laugh when people spoke of 3k oil changes. Then there's the guy at work that changes every 25k on his cars over the years and he made it well past 100k on each.
Somebody HAD to have done a thesis on this topic... wish I had my hands on it!
